Please fill out your warranty card and mail it to Hitachi. This will enable Hitachi to notify you promptly in the improbable event that a safety problem should be discovered in your product model. Model and serial numbers are indicated on back side and right side of the LCD Monitor.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of a sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to a person.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance

(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Child Safety Notice

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

THE ISSUE

•

•

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Flat Panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dresser, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chest or carts may fall over and cause injury.

HITACHI CARES!

• The consumer electronics industry is commited to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY

•

•

•

•

•

•

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.

Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL

MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

•

•

•

•

•

Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).

Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.

If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.

Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropiate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

Information

The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a multimedia I/O (Input/Output) interface. Only one cable is used to transmit all video/audio/control signals, thus facilitating easy connection.

Moreover, the digital signals can produce high quality data without any degradation.

If your external device has an HDMI terminal, HDMI connection is recommended for higher quality picture and sound.

About "Film Mode"

The image might not look natural depending on the image contents.

Phenomena such as q

When switched to the subtitles of a film or images, the image displays fine horizontal streak lines.

w

When switched to scenes such as commercial and animation, the image displays fine horizontal streak lines.

e

When displaying a ticker or subtitle, the text on the image becomes rough (aliasing).

r

When watching the image in Composite mode, which is connected to any external equipment, the OSD of external equipment displays fine horizontal streak lines.

These phenomena occur due to the method of converting the image. Please note that this is not a malfunction. In the event that this is disturbing, please set to Off.

In addition, the effect of this menu might vary depending on the aspect setting (See 42 ).

TROUBLESHOOTING

About LCD Display Technology

The following are common phenomena occurring when viewing LCD display devices due to its characteristics.

Please note that these are not malfunctions.

Defective Spots on Panel

The LCD panel is manufactured with high-precision technology. However, there might be some spots that are not illuminated, or are brighter than others, or are in different colors, etc.

Surface on Panel

The LCD panel displays images by the fluorescent lamps internally. This can raise the temperature of the display surface.

In addition, do not allow any heavy impact to the front of the panel because the LCD panel is made of high precision glass.

Use Under Low Temperature Conditions

Because of the structural characteristics of the LCD panel, the response speed of the LCD panel becomes slower when the ambient temperature becomes too low. In some cases, this may result in a residual image.

The residual image will disappear of its own accord as the temperature rises again to a normal level.

Before calling a service technician, check the following tables first. If the problem cannot be solved with the suggested procedures, contact 800-HITACHI . For your safety, NEVER try to repair the product yourself.
